In ancient Sumeria, Enki was the god of water. He was a mediator with a sense of humor. He invented civilization and assigned destiny. He saved mankind from the great flood.
Inanna was goddess of the heavens, of love, and of war. She was playful and self-willed, a multifaceted female. She was attractive to men but not so easy to attain.
While entertaining Inanna at a feast, Enki became drunk. He gave Inanna the Me, the gifts of civilized life, the universal rules to be followed by mankind. This transfer empowered Inanna and ultimately brought peace between their people.
